Except in the diagonal, the values at the level of significance are reported. TPC, total phenolic content; TFC, total flavonoid content; TCC, total carotenoids content; FRAP, ferric reducing antioxidant power assay, DPPH RSA, DPPH radical scavenging activity; O₂^•− RSA, superoxide anion radical scavenging activity, MICheC, metal ions chelating capacity. * Significant at p < 0.05; ** Significant at p > 0.01.
